3 years agoWonderful example of what can happen when people work together. Rena leads by example and has an extensive knowledge of how to succeed in growing plants and people. John Rothery (Tauranga)

3 years agoAtaahua! Beautiful people, beautiful kaupapa and beautiful kai. (Especially the smoked tuna shared today.) This is a special place where special people share valuable knowledge on many aspects of permaculture, maramataka principles and a whole lot more. Auntie Rina and her crew are natural educators and such taonga to the community. Be careful though, you may leave Ngapeke with a list of projects that you are going to start on at home. Nga mihi nui Mauri ora!
